Hell ya dude, thanks for the tip. I've never actually made it to Fado so I might have to check it out. I think we're going to go up fairly earlier this Saturday so I might have to talk the other into some Fado breakfast.

ERMAHGERD. Lagunitas Sucks is going to be made into a year round beer! This is some of the best beer news I've ever heard! HG and Stormy, I think you'll appreciate this:

"Lagunitas is also "working hard" to put Lagunitas Sucks in 32 oz. stubby (squat) bottles. "We're going to cram it in next to the Schlitz Malt Liquor and all the "Hood beers." It will be a year-round release with varied packaging beginning this fall. Magee gives credit to Les Claypool and Primus who put out pooper stickers that said "Primus Sucks." He had wanted to do a beer called "Lagunitas Sucks" for 10-12 years and finally had the opportunity when the company ran up against capacity and couldn't produce some of its usual beers this past winter."

FUCKING AWESOME! That Lagunitas Sucks is one of the most delicious fucking beers I have ever had EVER.

Les lives in Petaluma where the Lagunitas brewery is, and I know he loves that shit. If you watch the film he directed, Electric Apricot: Quest for Festeroo, there are several scenes where the characters are seen drinking Dogtown and CENSORED ales. I'd venture a guess that he's friends with the owner.

Holy fuck. This collaboration from Stone/Dogfish Head/Victory is unbelievable. It smells like the dankest, most amazingly fresh marijuana you've ever feasted your nostrils on, and tastes like what you would hope that smell would translate to on your tastebuds. All kinds of citrusy and herbal notes just punching you in the face with this one. And I'm not even a weed person. Gawd daaayum.

Dear everybody, I just woke up from beerfest and it was lovely. Discovered my new favorite beers are black pilsners, brought my dog to a party, had some truly great and truly terrible beers, ate some goddamn motherfucking awesome tacos and most importantly poured one out for badchoices:
